Russet Brown or Rowan Brown?


Recommended Posts

I searched, and found this link:

http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/nonmetallic.html which tells me it is one of two poo-browns, but am still none the wiser if it is russet or rowan?

Here is a picture of it. Admittedly it is faded and this is before it got T-cut'd, but hopefully someone can identify which of the two it is...

Hmmm, that looks like a 1986 model?

Both Russet & Rowan brown were only used up until 1985.

My guess would be that it is Rowan brown though, as even though you said it is very much faded, I cant imagine that bodywork coming up to Russet brown standards (which I think is lovely) with any amount of T-Cut.

This is what a restored Series 3 looks like in Russet brown. B) Gorgeous.

Hmmm, that looks like an early 110 to me Martin, about 1982 going by the number plate.

HA!! Your right of course Mo! I was being a bit of a plonker.....i didnt read the 'Y' at the end of the reg plate.....I was trying to make out the first letter which has been partly erased. It looks like a 'D' which would make it a 1986 model, but a 'Y' would indeed be an '82.

I guess I should stick to running a coffee shop for a living, as detective work looks out for me!

I make a great Cappuccino BTW!

As Ralph is the Oracle when it comes to these things, and he confirmed that it IS indeed Rowan Brown, can I have some points back for getting in first though?! C'mon, I dont get things like this right before anyone else very often. :P

Just a thought, does it not have a paint code? Takes all the opinion out of it..

Best regards.

Dave,

It is Rowan Brown, same as my 83 110. Initially I disliked the color, but it has grown on me particularly when it's out and about in the bush. It is so much more fitting out among the dirt and brush than in town.

I'm sure you can have a few points back, Martin :D
